T-Mobile’s Sidekick 4G has been officially retired

T-Mobile’s Sidekick handset is a pretty iconic one that has been used in many television shows, movies and music videos in the past due to its rather unique way of sliding open. That being said, if you were planning on getting your hands on the Sidekick 4G from T-Mobile, you might be out of luck as T-Mobile has reportedly confirmed to the folks at PhoneScoop that the phone has been retired. Now if you were a bit bummed by that and are wondering if this could be the end of the Sidekick series of mobile phones, you can breathe a sigh of relief as the T-Mobile rep who shared the news was quoted as saying, “it doesn’t mean we are discontinuing the T-Mobile Sidekick line.” While it was not specifically mentioned, you could take the chance and pop on over to a local T-Mobile store to try your luck and see if they have any remaining units available that you could buy.
